I ran across this in someone's signature on Samba:
"1960 VW bug/pickup conversion (junk)"
I sent him a message asking if he had pics of it. He sent me a few and I
offered a trade of a tacked together rolling sand rail chassis for it,
Today, after 276 miles and 3/4 tank of diesel, the Baja Volkstruckin'
project has a new home in my detached garage. Other than smelling like a
dead cat, it's in much better shape than expected. Pans look good, body
is straight with very little rust, and the pickup conversion looks very
well done.

I may stretch the wheel base slightly by using a tube chassis to allow a
bike carrier to be built in between the bed and engine, with a flat bed
spare tire holder over the engine. I need to check the length of my
Yamaha to see if this is feasible or not...
Other plans:
4 point cage inside
4 point on the rear, tied to the inside cage
Build my 1776 back with a good set of cases
Conversion to IRS
Rebuild the other 002 transaxle
Cut down '67 front fenders with reinforced edges
I'll upload more pics than I post here to my web site, they're available
to anyone interested at:

Ah, very cool, Les. I look forward to following your progress on this
project. I always liked the truck conversions done to the Beetles. I
came close to buying one about 7-8 years ago. Take plenty of
pictures, please. >> Stay informed about: Brought another VW home today... |

I do tend to take a lot of pics. It's easy since I always have my cell
phone, the camera on it takes decent quality pics. If I wasn't getting
ready to load up and head out off-roading for the weekend, I'd be
working on it already.

Heres what a customer gave me today
to keep on topic it was used as a farm truck and the prefect setup to
jump start the tractor.
>http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2631364010101866121TLHjQT
its a shame it really doesn't have much rust, I'm thinking I might
save it the front fenders and doors were removed and stored its said
to have been "running when parked"
